My introduction to everything football

Why I care about sharing my passion

 

To introduce myself for this first blog post, my name is Joey Priano, and I love sports. From the early years of my life, it was clear to my parents that sports were something that I was passionate about. Whether it's Hockey, baseball, basketball, soccer, running, or anything else you can think of, I cared about it. More than just enjoying the sport, I strived to talk about what was going on in the world of that sport with any and all people that would listen. But of every sport that I committed to following, football was the one that stood atop of them all. Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, The Steelers were an easy favorite team. Backed by a rich history, extremely strong fanbase, and of course, cheering for whoever my Dad cheered for, the team and the sport became my favorite thing to discuss. As I grew older, I did not lose my love for any individual sports. As I approached middle school, high school, and college, if I were asked by teachers what my hobbies or passions are, the answer remained constant. I love playing, watching, and talking about any and all sports. This blog is a new way to continue to share my passion, and although I could dive deeply into a variety of things, I have decided to focus on the sport that has always remained at the top, football. I am constantly looking for more people that are just as passionate about these things as I am, and through finding those people, I have made lifelong friends. These people in my life are continuously helping me become the man that I strive to be, and that is one of the reasons that I feel compelled to continue to share my passion with anybody that I can. In this blog, we will dive deep into the NFL, and what is happening currently, as well as looking into the possible futures for teams, players, and much more. With topics like the Super Bowl, free agency, and positional rankings we will explore all sorts of different aspects of the league, ultimately leading up to the NFL draft. I am extremely excited to continue to share my viewpoints on the sport, and cannot wait to get started.

High School Track and field star pushes into collegiate running

  Behind the running journey of Rebekah Priano By Joseph Priano     Rebekah (Bekah) Priano has been running since she was little. Playing youth soccer as early as she could, she was always outside and active. In 5th grade, she joined Girls on the Run. The after-school running club for girls was an early indication that she had the skill to run for long periods of time.    Going into middle school, it was recognized by Priano that distance was going to be her main event. She ran in various 5ks throughout the summer, joined Cross Country, and was consistently near the top of podiums for her demographic. After succeeding in middle school, continuing distance into high school seemed obvious, and so that is precisely what she did.   Entering high school, it was unclear whether Priano would stick to track, cross country, or both. Lots of distance runners do both, so also learning that she would run for varsity right away in both made the choice easy.   One o...
